The One Who Taught You Fear Was...

During his time at the Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Lin had thought that one day in the future he might face off against the Nihility Devouring Flame.

Therefore, a long time ago, Xiao Lin had specifically gone to study the Fire-Sealing Formation under the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

The level of the Fire-Sealing Formation is not high; it can barely seal Heavenly Flame Ranking Heavenly Flames.

However, if the Fire-Sealing Formation were not specifically designed for Heavenly Flames, a Dou Zong a high-level martial arts master) could easily break it.

Clearly, the Formation Master created the Fire-Sealing Formation originally designed it to counter the various types of "Fire-Sealing Formation" in the world.

However, due to their limited skill level, the Fire-Sealing Formation they developed also had limited power.

But Xiao Lin is different. In the current Dou Qi Continent, if he's second best in Formations, who dares to claim first?

Therefore, Xiao Lin specifically studied the Fire-Sealing Formation back then.

It was through studying the Fire-Sealing Formation that Xiao Lin created the Lesser Sumeru Flame-Sealing Spiritual Formation!

The effect of the Lesser Sumeru Flame-Sealing Spiritual Formation is even more extreme than that of the Fire-Sealing Formation. Its effect is only on flames and has no effect on anything else.

Of course, in contrast, the Lesser Sumeru Flame-Sealing Spiritual Formation also achieves its maximum effect on flames!

Now that Xiao Lin has set up the Lesser Sumeru Flame-Sealing Spiritual Formation, its effectiveness is so great that it can already be subtly targeted at the Nihility Devouring Flame, which ranks second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

Whether it can truly seal the Nihility Devouring Flame remains to be seen, depending on its subsequent effects...

Xiao Lin was naturally very much looking forward to this.

"You're just playing tricks! No matter what kind of Formation you concoct, it won't pose a threat to me!"

Nihility Devouring Flame's words were actually a way of encouraging himself to overcome his own unease.

"Whoa~"

"Boom"

At this moment, a second blood-red ghostly eye appeared in the sky!

Immediately afterwards, black flames erupted!

"Ugh~"

A terrifying black flame dragon swooped down from the sky, its target Xiao Lin.

Clearly, Nihility Devouring Flame no longer wanted to passively continue breaking through the formation.

After all, having broken through so many of Xiao Lin's powerful Spiritual Formation, Nihility Devouring Flame was no longer at its peak.

Moreover, Xiao Lin's earlier attacks had also damaged his very essence.

Now, Xiao Lin has set up a Spiritual Formation that appears unchanged to him, but sends a frantic warning through his mind. Naturally, Nihility Devouring Flame can no longer maintain its initial composure.

Xiao Lin's earlier battles with the Nihility Devouring Flame, along with the deployment of one Spiritual Formation after another, were all aimed at depleting the Nihility Devouring Flame.

Seeing that he had almost exhausted the Nihility Devouring Flame, he then set up this upgraded Spiritual Formation specifically designed to counter flames!

"Boom"

The black flame dragon swooped down.

However, Xiao Lin remained unmoved.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he hadn't seen the terrifying black flame dragon attacking.

Seeing Xiao Lin neither dodging nor avoiding his attacks, the pair of blood-red dark eyes in the sky suddenly narrowed.

Having fought Xiao Lin for so long, Nihility Devouring Flame did not believe that Xiao Lin would be someone who would simply wait to die when faced with its attacks.

In his view, Xiao Lin clearly had something to rely on!

And that is indeed the case.

I still remember how easily Xiao Lin controlled the Fire-Sealing Formation under the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to deal with the Fallen Heart Flame, without even lifting a finger!

"Bang"

Finally, under the watchful gaze of the Nihility Devouring Flame, the Black Flame Dragon crashed into an invisible wall when it was less than a meter away from Xiao Lin!

"Buzz~"

When the ripples in the Void appeared, they were accompanied by an air wall formed by countless mysterious runes.

Now, although the surroundings appear unchanged, they are actually within the Lesser Sumeru Flame-Sealing Spiritual Formation.

Within this Formation, Xiao Lin could easily manipulate the ubiquitous mysterious runes, using them for defense, attack, or even to seal various flames!

This wall of runes easily blocked the attack from the black flame dragon summoned by the Nihility Devouring Flame.

"Royal!"

At the same time, Xiao Lin also uttered a single word.

"Bang bang bang"

Unconvinced by the power of the Nihility Devouring Flame, it directly controlled the black flame dragon to launch repeated attacks on the mysterious rune wall.

However, the rune wall remained as stable as a mountain!

Feeling the powerful defensive capabilities of the rune wall against the attacks of the Nihility Devouring Flame, Xiao Lin smiled with satisfaction.

"Again... Lock!"

"Buzz~"

As Xiao Lin finished speaking, the rune wall disintegrated.

Immediately afterwards, the countless mysterious runes formed chains of runes, and in the blink of an eye, they bound the black flame dragon summoned by the Nihility Devouring Flame into a seed!

"Ugh~"

The black flame dragon roared.

However, its struggles were to no avail.

As time went on, the runic chains tightened, and the black flame dragon grew smaller and smaller.

In the end, the runic chains actually compressed the black flame dragon into a Rubik's Cube that Xiao Lin could hold in his hand!

"It seems the effect of this Lesser Sumeru Flame-Sealing Spiritual Formation is better than expected!"

Xiao Lin smiled, a very happy smile.

When he set up the Lesser Sumeru Flame-Sealing Spiritual Formation, he was genuinely worried that it would be ineffective against the Nihility Devouring Flame, and that all his previous research would have been in vain.

And so, the pair of blood-red, ghostly eyes in the sky watched as Xiao Lin stored a small part of his body into his Storage Ring.

Nihility Devouring Flame: "... What kind of technique is this? How can you even seal my flames?"

After a long silence, the Nihility Devouring Flame spoke.

His unease, which accompanied Xiao Lin in sealing the Black Flame Dragon, had grown increasingly stronger!

"Ah, didn't I just say that? This is the Lesser Sumeru Flame-Sealing Spiritual Formation, which I specially developed to target you! How about it? Nihility Devouring Flame, don't you feel honored?"

The Lesser Sumeru Flame-Sealing Spiritual Formation was exceptionally effective against the Nihility Devouring Flame, putting Xiao Lin in a very good mood.

Therefore, when the Nihility Devouring Flame asked, he generously gave a brief introduction.

After all, even if the Nihility Devouring Flame knew the effects of the Lesser Sumeru Flame-Sealing Spiritual Formation, what could it do?

"Formation designed to counter flames... such Formation should not exist in this world! Lin Xiao, you must die! Otherwise, I will not be at peace!"

At this moment, Nihility Devouring Flame had made up his mind that even if it meant damaging his own essence, he would kill Xiao Lin.

Just as he said, Xiao Lin, who possessed such a technique targeting fire Formations, was far too dangerous for him.

To put it bluntly, at this moment, a faint sense of fear had begun to arise in the heart of Nihility Devouring Flame.

Even before Xiao Lin has broken through to the Nine-Star Dou Saint realm, he can already pose such a great threat to him with the Lesser Sumeru Flame-Sealing Spiritual Formation.

Once Xiao Lin breaks through to the Nine Stars, he probably won't even be able to escape, right?

At this moment, the one who truly understands fear in the Church of the Nihility Devouring Flame is... Xiao Lin!
